Laura Innes from “ER” popped up in an episode of “Awake” and she was discussing the main character, as if they had done something to him or experimented on him or something, to make him lose his memory, so that is something to think about.

Could he actually be in a coma or something and somehow be dreaming these two, separate, but connected lives?

If this actually goes beyond season 1 they better have some kind of actual, common sense, ending in mind for the show. I don’t want another WTF kind of series finale like “Lost” or “Battlestar”.

If you’re smart enough to come up with all these great episodes along the way, you should be able to sit down with all the writers and come up with a satisfying conclusion to the story, for the creators and the viewers.

I really hope that “Awake” is successful so that we have another hugely popular show that can be discussed on the podcast on a regular basis.

I do think that the show is very smart and fun and I do have a little bit of deja vu from “Lost”. You get that sense when you watch the show that things are happening for a reason and one thing connects to another.

You have to pay attention to what happens to prevent yourself from becoming lost, no pun intended , but you get so wrapped up as you watch the show that you really WANT to watch and catch all the details.
